Who is Ferrari? Can you post a link? When I google "Ferrari Svreck" I get nothing. I liked what Scouching had to say about him. That he's a kid that "will do whatever it takes to make the game move in the right direction" forecheck, battle, agitate, make plays. Kid wants to win at all costs. Apparently has a big shot as well. By the sounds of it he has a ton of natural potential and his offense - albeit a lil late to get drafted high - has begun to develop in big ways. Much like Kasper he's a non-Swede that moved to the SHL to develop his skills. Could be a late steal monster if Scouching (ferrari) is correct.

I don't mind this move. Especially since I believe Verbeek was asking for a 1st in return for Gibson last year. If you look at Gibson's career numbers, he was great, and then plummetted down to average at the exact time the Ducks as a team fell apart. He'll be the guy heading into the season, and if he plays like everyone knows he can we may FINALLY have a clear cut #1 and we can put to rest this dopey 3goalie sharing the net BS. Then after this season Talbot will be gone and Cossa can come up and learn from a guy who's actually been a true #1. Its a good gamble to take - but by god does Stevie love playing with new project goalies every couple months. Lets hope this one proves to hold up. Would really help our Goals Against.

I sense a theme to this draft: 1st - LW Carter Bear - physical tenacious big motor Canadian forward who can score 2nd - RW Eddie Genborg - big physical Swedish shopwrecking forward with limited offensive potential 3rd - G Michal Pradel - big Slovak goalie 4th - RW Brent Soloman - elite sniping American winger who dominated HS hockey 4th - LW Michal Svrcek - energy creating nuisance type Slovak forward that has developing offensive ability 5th - LHD Nikita Tyurin - finesse style two-way Russian Dman 6th - LHD Will Murphy - big physical Canadian defensive Dman that punishes oppenents but needs to skate better 7th - C Grayden Robertson-Palmer - heavy forechecking and attacking Canadian center Besides Tyurin and Soloman, Yzerman went all in on Compete + Physicality. Tells me he likes the talent we already have and now its time to sprinkle in some pushback and energy generators. Bear has 1st line potential, 3rd line floor. Genborg is likely a bottom 6er, but is already built to handle grown men and should have a quick path to the NHL. After that it's really all boom or bust prospects IMO. But there's some really nice potential booms in that mix: Soloman has elite shot accuracy and scored 66 goals in 44 highschool games. Just has to now build out the rest of his game. Project player for Cleary. Svrcek was ranked as the 11th best player in this entire draft by draft analyst Will Scouching. He thinks Svreck is a serious diamond in the rough that didnt get enough attention from NHL scouts. Robertson-Palmer was also described as a darkhorse late steal pick by Brock Otten director of scouting for McKeen hockey.

It may be a weak draft class for the players, but its being reported via Eklund that rumors are swirling that there is a strong class of beautiful mothers Lez go boissss

I really like Smaht Scouting if you wanna check them out. I find they have insightful takes, and care zero for how the other pundits or central scouting rank players. Therefore their rankings always end up much different, and I like that, as their rank is based on true honest scouting, and not "well we felt we had to rank him in the top 10 bc scott wheeler did" This year they had Bear at #9 overall. Quotes: "Bear is one of the most physical forwards in this entire class, constantly engaging with his body when there’s a puck battle to be won and getting into the house when the puck is in the offensive zone. He’s not just applying physicality to discomfort the opposition either: he uses all of the minor tips and tricks you’d hope to see a player use in these situations such as quick stick lifts, using his edges to get under opponents, and consistently smart route taking to make it so that he is constantly able to win said battles and make effective plays." "He lacks the sort of dynamic vision and skills you might hope for in a typical top line winger, but he’s smart enough with his decision making both on the rush and in the cycle that he can still set up linemates for high danger chances when the opportunity is there. Players who can provide a physical edge in their game while being able to produce are a rare and highly sought after commodity in the NHL, and Carter Bear projects to be exactly that at the next level."

2027 lineup: Buchnelikov - Larkin - Raymond Soderblom - Kasper - MBN Mazur - Lombardi - Compher Ras - Danielson - Berggren Xtra: Finnie, Plante, Kiiskinen, Bear Edvinsson - Seider Wallinder - ASP Buium - Albert J Xtra: Anton J, Cleveland Cossa Augustine

I've relayed this info b4, but I'll repeat it again quick now: There's a gentleman on HF whose father played in the OHL and a limited number of games for the Wings back in the day. He claims to be close to scouts, and has posted reliable insider info in the past. According to him, the belief among Wings brass and ownership is the rebuild is NOT over and it will not be over until the 2027/28 season. That we need this coming season plus one more, and then we will be fully loaded and able to go all in on a cup run. If true, lets break that down: 2027/28 Forwards: Larkin (31) - $8.7 Raymond (25) - $8.08 Compher (32) - $5.1 Rasmussen (28) - $3.2 Possible additional forwards: MBN (22), Danielson (23), Lombardi (24), Berggren (27), Soderblom (26), Bear (21), Kiiskinen (22), Mazur (25), Finnie (22), Plante (21), Buchnelikov (24), Kasper (23) 2027/28 Defense: Seider (26) - $8.55 Possible additional Dmen: Edvinsson (24), Albert Johansson (26), ASP (22), Buium (24), Wallinder (25), Cleveland (22), Anton Johansson (23) 2027/28 Net: Presumed: Cossa (25) and Augustine (22) When you look at the ages of those players in 2027/28, does it not seem like that will be exactly the correct time to insert all that youth? And when you look at our contract situation, all of our big contracts, besides JTC, are done in the next 2 years. So what I'm suggesting is: We might be dissapointed by Yzerman's action this offseason. There's a strong possibility he will not sign or trade for anything significant (bc of reluctance to commit to term). Because the next 2 seasons will be about shedding our cocoon, and becoming the butterfly. The cocoon being Chiarot, Tarasenko, Copp, Mrazek, Talbot, Kane, Debrincat, Holl, and Gustafsson. Most all the young players I listed are progressing extremely well and should be able to be eased on to the roster in the next 2 years, or directly inserted onto the roster in 2027/28. And with a young talented cheap roster like that we will be able to go big game hunting for anything we may want in the 2027 offseason.

I essentially wanted Eklund, then Bear, then Potter. But I'm very happy to have Bear. Eklund went 16th to the Isles. Potter went 32nd to the Flames. Carter Bear has pretty much what no other prospect in this draft could offer, besides maybe Potter; drive, determination, compete, tenacity, fearlessness. I actually want to roll back what I said in my original predraft post. After doing a post draft deep dive, he's a lil less violent than I originaly thought, but a whole more intelligent. And thats one thing that will come up time and time again if you research him: Intelligence. Anyone who talks or writes about hockey always remarks about his very high hockey IQ. Combine that with the big motor he has under the hood, and I think this is a homerun pick. It's almost hard to find flaws about this kid. He skates, he competes, he passes, he shoots, he back checks, he goes to dirty areas. Projects probably as a LW in the NHL, with a floor of 3rd line and cieling of top line. Bear - Kasper - MBN, is going to be a NASTY line for other teams to play against one day. All three are chippy, relentless, antagonizing, disrupters that are going to literally ram pucks down into opponents nets. Credit to Yzerman and Draper for this pick. I like the direction our prospect pool has taken. Skilled softies have fallen by the way side for our scouting staff. They really seem to value DRIVE DRIVE DRIVE at this point in time. Which gives me faith, as that is exactly what our pathetic mediocre lockerroom lacks. It tells me the Wings org is at least seeing what I'm - and the rest of you - are seeing, and they are aiming to fix it.

Wellcome to the twin detrotcities

Bear is wayyyyy more violent than Kasper IMO. This is our Verbeek/Tkachuk/Marchand shidt disturber IMO. Hes gonna make Kasper look nice.

Carter Bear just saved SY from being the whipping boy Naturally I said i didnt care about our pick this year, and then SY did exactly what I seceretly wanted. CARTER IS A ******* SHOP WRECKING BEAR ON SKATES. love it.

Red wings on deck

Roger McQueen - GORGOUS MOTHER Kindel - decent mom. But not even touching McQueen tier.

Lindy Ruff is the HC of Buffalo again? WTF? DDont listen to me, I apparently have no idea whats going on.

Get out of my thread u insane degenerate But sorry all I had to take an important phone call and couldnt comment on the recent batch of moms. I was eyeing them in the background though and I saw nothing impressive. This may be the worst draft class in years. Fat ugly moms and bad players. Im back and engaged now though

Is Matt Schaeffers dad... Todd Mclellan?

FUQ Matt Schaeffer has no mom (RIP) thats an auto DQ. The Isles have officially lost MILF watch with the 1st overall pick lol classic Isles.

Here we go gang. Draft underway. I kinda like this draft. It's the first time i havent given a shidt who we take since like 2012. Just relaxing and truly dedicating myself to these mommies. Lets do this.

Why would he be? This team has one of the most decent, moderately accceptable, middling, adequate, okay, fair, medium-well rosters in the entire league. He's safe.

To COL: 2nd + 3rd + Gavin Brindley To CBJ: Coyle + Miles Wood I swear CBJ is the dumbest franchise in all of sports. Their entire org should be dissolved and, not moved, but completely restarted in Houston or something. Coyle is washed up at 33. And Wood is a Motte+ tier 4th liner. And they cost a combined 8 mil. I wouldnt have given the Avs anything for that package, let alone 2 picks and Brindley, who would have easily been a 1st rounder in tonights draft. Thanks Jackets! You gave the Avs 9 million in cap space so you could have some dumb garbage. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

Here's the link to available streams if any of u fellers need it: https://v3.sportsurge.to/live/nhl-draft-live-stream

Ah yes our press box specialist. He will likely also be our TDL acquistion when a Dman goes down late in the season. Bold move.

No wonder the NHL switched to remote format this year. Red Wings special guest is Dave Coulier. He would have already pork pied half the moms by the time the 13th rolled around.

We talking about the whiskey or the moms?

Busting out the good malt scotch tonight. Single and aged 40 years... just like I like
